  • Monochromatic Petal Prints

    Yay!  I’m organised early this week for Linc’n’Learn.  Normally on a Tuesday nite while the kids are in the bath, I’m madly trying to make some cards for my group.  It does feel good to have them made already.  Now I just need to get myself organised for Wednesday nites Demo that I’m doing. I…

  • Rock n Roll

    I thought I’d try something different for this week.  It’s the Rock n Roll technique, stamp in a one colour and then ‘roll’ the edges of the stamp in another colour.  Bold stamps work best, and it can give a really good effect. Cards are made using Ballet Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Old Olive Cardstock.  Ballet…

  • Linc’n’Learn this Week

    The following cards were my offerings for Linc’n’Learn this week.  Just something a little fun and a bit corny. The Stamp Sets used for the main images are from the Hostess Level 3 set Furnished with Love. The first card uses Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Cameo Coral Cardstock and Inkpads.  I’ve sponged Cameo Coral…

  • Another 6×6 Layout

    I’ve managed to do another Layout this week.  I’m a bit pooped, as I cut the green cardstock too short for my liking, and hadn’t taken anymore with me, and being me, I just wanted to get another layout finished. I’ve used Rose Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Cardstock, with their matching inkpads.  The…

  • 6 YO Birthday Card

    DS 5 is going to a birthday party today, woohoo!!  It’s his first party, with a friend that HE made, and it’s a girl.  And what’s more, he is going to marry her! So I was thinking that I’d best make a card for her, but realised that I have no stamps that are children…

  • Linc’n’Learn Today

    The ladies had a great time today (well I hope they did!), so while they made their cards, I made another scrapbook layout.  The size is 6×6, using all the same products at the cards below.  I’ve used white ribbon but have run it over my inkpad to colour it, a bit messy, but it…

  • Watercolour Garden II

    Some new toys arrived yesterday, so it was play time this arvo.  I teach at a local group called Linc’n’Learn every Wednesday morning.  These are the cards we are going to make.  The lighting is a bit dodgy, will try to take some more in the daylight. Materials for all cards: Cardstock: Whisper White, Orchid…

  • Why I joined Stampin’ Up!

    I first saw a Catalogue about a year ago.� I’d never seen anything like Stampin’ Up! before (I was involved with another Direct Selling Craft Company).� The way all the stamps were designed to go with each other and packaged in sets was really different.� AND the colour range was fantastic.� The Cardstock, Inkpads, Colouring…
